Today is my 1 year! I'm 116 lbs down from my high on my best days. I've been plateaued at 165-160 for over a month now. I'm still really motivated and the energy hasn't gone away. I do want to lose another 15-25 lbs though and the plateau is driving me batty. Still I am SO HAPPY I DID THIS.

I have so much more energy since the surgery back in August. It sounds like most everyone else is feeling similarly since theirs, its so exciting! What sort of things are you all doing with the new energy, favorite exorcises, projects? I've been trying to keep my exorcise routine varied and would love to hear what everyone else is doing!

Plateaus, They are the worst!! Even if they're a natural part of this process. I'm questioning Everything I eat and obsessing over everything. Can't wait to get off the plateau! It sounds like you're both kicking butt!! But I am right there with you loathing the stall.

That is AMAZING! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You're rocking this change! I'm going through the clothes thing to a lesser degree. Only my clothes with elastic in them still fit at all. The second hand stores and hand-me-downs are my best friends right now.

Happy New Year! And the time really does fly! I was stalled for almost 2 months. My surgeon’s office said it may be caused by monotony in the diet and to try new things here and there. Awesome that you are still losing inches! Ooo that's really good to know! I have been eating the same things and doing a lot of the same work outs. Maybe I should mix things up a bit! Thank you!

Happy New Year everyone! I don't post a lot, I kinda lurk. But I love hearing about everyone's process and progress! I'm 5 months post op tomorrow! I can't believe how much time has already gone by! I'm currently stalled out, I blame letting too much sugar back into my diet over the holidays. I think I'm still losing inches though, and hopefully the scale will start moving again soon. Hope everyone's New Year is of to a great start!

So, so, sooo much better! Things like tying my shoes, bending over to pick things up... just normal everyday things are SO much easier. I'm also making my 10,000 step goal almost every day now! I still have a ways to go, but I'm so happy with how its been going so far!

I'm a little over three months PO. I'm down to 195 from my surgery day weight of 255. The first pic is from a month or so before surgery and the second is about a week or so ago.

Double posted, woops.

I had my sleeve back in August. I'm doing good, I still get nausea if I'm not careful.. But in every other respect I feel tons better. I've been getting to the gym at least twice a week and walking a lot. I see one of my friends who doesn't know what I've done tomorrow, and I'm nervous. I really hope she doesn't ask me anything. I don't feel comfortable sharing with everyone yet.. And she's never been very supportive of my past weight lots efforts. We'll see how it goes! Fingers crossed I'm over thinking it!

@cindy t I do still have it. I think both my grandma and her mom have had theirs removed so maybe mines an issue?

I dont want to depend on the scale to make me happy, I have plenty of other signs that things are on track... but sometimes those numbers really hit me. Today the scale read 211lbs. I haven't seen that number in I dont know how long. I dont know why this one means so much more to me than 214 did, or 219, but its hit me pretty solidly in the feels. That said, does anyone else have a little voice in the back of their mind that tries to limit your excitement with caution? I've lost so many times before, part of me is terrified to embrace this happiness whole heartedly. Its silly. I want to silence that nay-saying part an just throw a 211 party in my living room! Ah! Its such a random number to be thrilled about, but I am, I'm thrilled. I'm going to stomp on that nay-saying voice and have a living room dance party. End ramble ??
